"Hot Topic" Workshop

A variety of topics are covered during workshops linked to a current newsworthy "Hot Topic" in science. In 1993, the Hot Topic Workshop was on the science issues of Jurassic Park. In 1994, the Hot Topic Workshop was linked to the Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet impact of Jupiter. In 1995, the Hot Topic Workshop was based on the summer's hit movie, Apollo 13. At each workshop, scientists from a range of fields give presentations and lead the teachers through possible classroom hands-on activities.

Teacher Partnership Program

Partners with teachers by sending young scientists into the classroom to support space-related curriculum.
